Abstract excerpt
Myeloid dermal dendritic cells (DCs) accumulate in chronically inflamed tissues such as psoriasis. The importance of these cells for psoriasis pathogenesis is suggested by comparative T-cell and DC-cell counts, where DCs outnumber T cells. We have previously identified CD11c(+)-blood dendritic cell antigen (BDCA)-1(+) cells as the main resident dermal DC population found in normal skin. We now show that psoriatic...
